Hiya all,

I thought you might be interested to know what the part 3 details are for the following year.

The office needs to register and pay the ?125 fee by 29th November.

Then you need to pay a remainging ?825 fee for the 9 month course and two weekend trips by 1st March 2006. OR pay ?170 per month for 5 months starting on the 1st of January. The course consists of 9 monthly assignments and two weekends in chester.

Finally in either october 2006 or april(?) 2007 they will need to pay a final examination fee of ?250. This fee will be due at latest 6 weeks before the final exam and interview.

I hope that you will all find the information useful, see you soon.
Mike

PS I have the email address of the course leader if you need more information I will email you the address.

I'm just impressed they're not taking it all in advance.

We are on the build up to Chester weekend away now. I am really really looking forward to the 12 hour days. . . . . NOT. Oh well I suppose it will be worth it in the end. Maybe. :? Anyone else looking forward to the trip?

yeah, i'm so looking forward to being rid of you for twelve days for sure

Twelve days? You'll be lucky, just a long weekend consisting of twelve-hour days. Almost as bad as twelve normal days...

I thought you had all done your degrees? Or is this for your masters?

How can you spend twelve hours in Chester? Three of four - six at a push - but twelve!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know there is a lot of architecture there - being an ancient Roman city - but twelve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately for Fez it is only 4 days but you have to find them breaks when you can!

We will be sitting in a smelly horrid lecture hall in Chester University listening to 'interesting' lectures on the buisiness of Architecture and the Legalities of Construction etc.

We have finished our degrees now we need to mount one last hurdle to become real people in the eyes of our professional bodies, RIBA and ARB.

curses, in my enthusiasm i confused the actual length of the course with how long i would really like to be free of you. what's so special about these lectures that sitting through them proves you to be architects? i could sit through a whole week of classes on advanced simultainious equations but it wouldn't make me any better at maths...it'd probably turn me into a gibbering wreck

It will probably turn us into gibbering wreaks to be honest. I don't think they are going to prove us as Architects in isolation but as more of a formal structure to get us used to the format of the exam, familiarity = passes.

The problem is that the whole field is massive and we can not possible be able to become experts in all the issues, however, we need to become aware of the fact these issues exist. :D

For any budding lawyers out there: only take up construction law if you like reading. A lot. So I hear...

Thankfully architects have nice people such as structural engineers and lawyers they can call on to help them out. It does make me wonder how much the medieval master builders (essentially architects, from the sounds of it) did, and knew, themselves. Then again, they didn't have health and safety legislation to worry about.
